Lady of the Lake

What is the attraction with the lake? Why are we drawn to its side? Is there something mysterious about it? Is there something it's trying to hide? Does it hold the deep dark secret Of a lady in a flowing white gown? Was she the victim of some evil doing? Did she unceremoniously drown? This is how the old story goes You can believe it or call it poppycock A jealous lover tied her feet to a boulder Threw her off the end of the dock Now every evening at sundown As a mist starts to rise from the water The shadowy figure of a woman appears The image of somebody's daughter The tortured spirit of the “Lady of the Lake” With her mournful cry for release Forever to rise from the lake at sundown Nevermore to rest in peace!
